For some reason, I cannot boot into the internal hard drive at all because I do not know what key to push to bypass the floppy drive. I am still very novice at this, plus the fact is I do not have an owner's manual for this computer. Can someone give me some tips on how to perform this action?

The format for a disk if compatable with the MS-DOS format.
On the PC, if you can format the disk in DD 720kB, that will do the job, 
just copy the files ont it and the Mega STE will read it.

Or, as David said, you can wait and let the MegaSTE boot to the desktop.
Put a floppy in it and select FORMAT (so you can also verify that the 
atari drive works!)

Guillaume.
